considered. >> thank you scott sanchez planning department. so code enforcement has been historically been understaffed it is the lowest staffing one of the staff members is here doing the work in the tenderloins looking the transparency requirement because many of the issues are not the signage issues but what the store front appears can you see inside or boarded you up because of the machines or registers blocking windows looking more beyond the signage but transparency requirements for the code we've been pro-active in the tenderloin >> i've noticed a difference in the stores walking by they've increased the number of signages on their windows but in terms of you have 7 full time code enforcement officers. >> what's the plan. >> more than 13 hundred codes and packages of regulations from thought clubs and massage enforcement and affordable housing we deal with the general building requirements working with the legal construction activities things that may or may not included like the affordable housing that is just some things. >> i see it'

>> scott sanchez, planning department, so we will see a vacant lot as no use. and this case, i think that the closest possible use would be a parking lot, or each going from parking to parking to recycling notice is required, one thing that i will mention in the similar case ss that so the purpose of the suspension, and the new building permit application is to do the section, 312, neighborhood notification which is also, the same essentially the same notice that this board does for appeal hearings and i said that in the past and i will remind the board of that in terms of considering your position on this item. >> any way that you cut it, it is a new use? >> right. >> that was made clear. >> okay. >> okay. well i will move to up hold the suspension on the basis that there was no error, or abuse of discretion. >> thank you. >> so we have a motion then from the vice president, to up hold this order by the zoning administrator on the basis that there was no error, or abuse of discretion. on that motion, to up hold, commissioner fung? >> aye. >> commissioner hwang

sanchez. >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. and i will leave the legal arguments to the attorneys, and perhaps the deputy city attorney may even want to weigh in, in regards to the vested rights argument and that is something that does appear often here. and it is my understanding as somebody who is not an attorney, that there is an order to be a vested right it has to be a lawfully issued permit that is the problem with the case here that it does not appear that the permit was lawfully issued, the neighborhood notification is required because it is a change of use. the appellant has made no arguments here why this is not a change of use and the argument is based solely on the belief that it does not meet with the definition of community recycling which is a public use, this is a permitted use within the district and just requires the neighborhood notification and if it is not a community recycling center and if it does not meet those requirements then i will ask the appellant to state what use this will be and how it will be a

scott sanchez, planning department. and so the appellant has continued to argue that the use of something that is simply is not even classified in the planning code, well under the requirements for the zoning district in section 846 it lists a table of about 100 different types of uses, and so, again, if it is not or if it does not fall under the public use category it will have to fit in one of these other category and if it does not fit, it is not allowed within the zoning district. and so, i think that the appellant needs to consider that further, and i think that even the appellant's own, admission here to the board, that this use is not something that is listed within the use controls for this zoning district and it is not something that is defined, and it calls into question, whether it is a permit and would respectfully request that you up hold the suspension of this permit and they need to file a new building permit and it has been filed that there are issues with the permit and it says no construction and they

. >> thank you scott sanchez planning department i want to be available if there's any questions based on the arguments that have been put forward i didn't hear any questions but to be available for any questions that come up. >> okay. we can take public comment i want to see a show of hands how many people want to speak the blood public comment can you line up on that side of the room that will be helpful in moving forward the process. the first person can come to the microphone >> mrandz i do have a question. maybe i can wait until after the public - i'm just kidding. i'm thinking on the permitting some of the questions the challenge raised by the appellant relate to non-payment of taxes would that ever b be a consideration from our department >> excellent question no. under the land use regulations the planning department and planning commission responsible for that the medical cannabis dispensary the department is responsible for the permits so that's what's before you is the permitting of the land use an mc d can operate under the planning code under the pressure view of the publi

. >> scott sanchez and i will be brief, the property is located in the rh2 and does allow the maximum dwelling permit and the neighborhood notification for the rear edition last year for 30 days between march and april, no reviews were filed at that time. and under the planning code, this building does contain three dwelling units and it is an existing legal, non-conforming use and there is a permit for 1966 which says that it is a two family dwelling with a housekeeping unit and the appellant is correct under the planning code the definition of the dwelling unit includes housekeeping unit. we will review it as a three unit building and there is an interesting qirk with this because under the building code they will consider this as a two unit building with the housekeeping unit and it is not subject to all of the building code requirements the permit language could have been clearer and it could have stated that it went from the building code for the purposes of the building code and there is no change there, but what the project sponsor is doing is that they are subjecting themselve

>> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department and i appreciate the comments from mr. williams and that his client does not want to live next to an apartment building, however this is a three unit building and it is legally a three unit building. in 1966 it did receive a cfc and it could be seen as a birth certificate for a building that is the valid use of the building, in 1966 the zoning was r3 which would have allowed three units and so i don't see any issue with that permit. the 3 r report says two units and two dwelling units with housekeeping, and so again, i don't see any issues with this and it is a legal unit and even if the record was less clear, and the question is whether or not this is a legal unit under the planning code and i think that everyone recognizes that we are in a housing crisis that should not be taken for granted and so the amendments to the planning code over the years to try to see what we can do to preserve the dwelling units and 180 h was added this year, or last year seeks to preserving dwelling units and if the administrative record rega
